2014 ANNUAL REPORT 3

2014, AIR TAHITI NUI CONTINUES ITS CLIMB INTO PROFITABILITY

For the third consecutive year, Air Tahiti Nui has delivered a positive result of 2.02 billion XPF in profits (up 20% from 2013). This signi-ficant improvement to the airlines profitability is also the best result historically, since the inception of the company. The continuation

of Air Tahiti Nui’s positive financial trajectory is thanks to the culture of teamwork and unity between all the stakeholders of the company (both internal and external) personnel, members of the Board, equity holders, members and customers, partners, etc.

A transition year to prepare the future

Committed to a dynamic of modernization since 2013, Air Tahiti Nui started many projects during financial year 2014: routes, fleet, alliances and partnerships, commercial and marketing development, organization and mana-gement. These reforms mark the implementation of the strategic directions validated by the Board of Directors and supported by social partners and collaborators. They reflect the need, expressed by all, to unite around the values and stakes that have prevailed since the creation of the company:

“ To operate a long-lasting service for the Polynesian tourist industry”

This ambitious goal goes voluntarily beyond the simple purpose of an air carrier and gives us a great responsi-bility as the main instrument in the development of French Polynesian tourism. To play its part constructively, the company must obviously ensure and guarantee its profitability while upholding high quality and safety standards.

Armed with this ambition, we have taken advantage of our financial recovery to prepare Air Tahiti Nui for the future and its challenges; and we have done so in line with the country’s tourism development strategy.

Thus we have structured the steering of the company around the CEO and deputy CEO, on the two pillars that are now the commercial managing directorate and the operations managing directorate, with the backing of support directorates (finance, organization and quality, HR, information systems). We have also created a mana-gement systems directorate, in charge of safety policy and compliance in order to meet the new requirements of European regulations. Some departments have been strengthened (marketing, customer service, offline market, etc.) and we also integrated additional functions (financial engineering, information systems security, corporate responsibility…)

We have decided as well to invest in the cabin modernization of a fourth aircraft (in addition to the three inaugu-rated last year) so as to offer our customers consistent quality throughout our network. The renovation will begin in the last quarter of 2015.

At the same time, a lot of our attention was devoted, since 2013 and all through 2014, to the enhancement of our fleet in 2018-2019. At the end of the year our efforts led to the signing of a valuable partnership for the lease of two latest-generation Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 aircraft, and to the cementing of a strategic relationship with Air Lease Corporation and Boeing.

For Air Tahiti Nui, this is a bold undertaking to ensure a sustainable and profitable future. Therefore our priority will be to maintain this collaborative strategy for the next four years, so that we are ready to welcome and operate these new aircraft as the company prepares to celebrate its 20th birthday.

Until then, To Tatou Manureva will be happy to keep serving you and welcoming you on our flights!

2014 ANNUAL REPORT4

2014 KEY FIGURES AND MILESTONES

Air Tahiti Nui continues to grow its operations and to improve its results, notably by taking advan-tage of diminishing fuel prices. After debuting its new cabin upgrades in 2013, the company chose

to extend cabin renovation to a fourth aircraft of the fleet, to attain consistent quality throughout its network.

Thanks to the acquisition of an IT platform to host and de-velop multilingual Internet sites, Air Tahiti Nui innovates by

launching its new, 5-languages website, in a fully respon-sive version that optimizes the online experience across all kinds of devices. Air Tahiti Nui is among the first three airlines that use this innovative technology.

In terms of network, a new code-share agreement was signed with Korean Air in February 2014, encouraging the arrival of Korean tourists in French Polynesia, via the Tahiti-Japan route.

Three aircraft were remodeled in 2013 and their cabins are now fitted in a two-class configuration: 32 business class seats and 264 economy class seats, i.e. 296 seats with personal on-demand video systems.

• MSN 385 F-OJGF fully owned (« MANGAREVA »),• MSN 438 F-OSEA on financial lease (« RANGIROA »),• MSN 446 F-OSUN on financial lease (« MOOREA »),

The new Poerava Business class offers 32 “Evolys” seats that recline to 160° and offer optimal comfort.

3. SAFETY, THE VERY HEART OF OUR BUSINESS

APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATESAir Tahiti Nui is a French international airline company holding the following operation permits :• An air service license issued in December 2006 (decree

1389 CM),• An air operator certificate (AOC) FR.AOC.OO83, issued

approval certificate FR.MG. 0061 issued on December 24, 2014,

• A certificate of maintenance approval section 145 for FR 145 423 aircraft maintenance, issued on October 29, 2010.

SAFETY POLICYCreation of Safety Management Directorate

The incident and/or accident risk is inherent to air trans-port. This is why airline activities, passenger and freight transport and aircraft maintenance are framed by a body of rules established by European safety agency EASA.

Compliance with these rules is a condition for obtaining Air Tahiti Nui’s air operator certificate, which is now valid without time limitation since the adoption of IR OPS reg-ulations.

Control of the proper implementation of these rules is done by the Safety Management Directorate and includes the implementation of the safety policy designed by the executive in charge.

The management system is composed of the safety and compliance control system that ensures respect of regula-tions, and the safety management system for event anal-ysis and risk management.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT10

1 623FLIGHTS in 2014

The management system is built on four pillars that have been integrated in all of our operational directorates :

- Policy and goals - Risk management - Safety conditions control - and Safety promotion

The company’s safety policy, a priority of our airline, was reaffirmed by the Chief Operating Officer/executive in charge, who personally committed to the implementation of a fair management policy to reinforce the feedback sys-tem, a crucial element of any safety policy.

Safety management professional training modules are be-ing deployed in all of the company’s operational depart-ments.

The Safety Management Directorate’s program aims for the continuing improvement of air operations safe-ty through the detection, analysis and mitigation of any anomaly in conditions, policies and procedures. It must also ensure that employees always take into account the consequences of their own actions and the actions of their colleagues when it comes to safety.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT14

Air Tahiti Nui carried 459 800 passengers in 2014, a 9% growth over 2013. The budding economic recovery in Europe generated 4% growth on the Paris route. An important increase in traffic on the Los Angeles route (+16%) was stimulated by the gradual improvement of the American economy and a rise in cruise

passengers. The Auckland route saw a strong increase in 2014 (+20%) due to the rise of trans-Pacific traffic after the opening of the third rotation. The Tokyo route shows a 2% rise in traffic, the decrease of the Japanese market being more than compensated by the increase of the Chinese market.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT 17

In 2014, tourist arrivals in the islands of Tahiti increased by 10%, with growth showing across all markets except South America (-15%) and Japan (-5%).

North America registers a strong growth of 18%, mainly due to cruise and circuit tourists. Europe in general is re-covering, except for Italy which still declines slightly. In the Pacific region, Australia is stable (+2%) while New Zealand grows by 10% thanks to a 37% increase in circuit tourists.In this context of strong tourism growth (+10%), Air Tahiti Nui was able to carry 13% more tourists than in 2013 and thus take its market share to 72% (up 2 points).

2014 ANNUAL REPORT18

Air Tahiti Nui ambassadorsIn the last few years, Air Tahiti Nui has supported leading Polynesian figures whose fame and actions increase the visibility of Tahiti as a destination. Whether they are high-level athletes or recognized figures of culture and the arts, they all have a connection to Ta-hiti. They are ambassadors because they represent ex-cellence, exemplariness and surpassing oneself, but also because they possess Polynesian elegance and beauty. Air Tahiti Nui has made it its mission to encourage and promote internationally all the riches and talents of our islands. Today, the company sponsors some 40 ambas-sadors and many have been in headline news in 2014 : Michel Bourez (surfer), Teiva LC (singer), Sabrina Laughlin (singer), Georges Cronsteadt (stand up paddler) or Dany Gérard (jiu-jitsu).

Low season support campaigns These compaigns serve two purposes: first, to promote travel during the low season (January to March) and sec-ond, to bolster mid-season traffic leading to the high sea-son. The chosen themes are : early booking, repeaters, mono-island, honeymoon and family.

The Hidden Paradise campaign (Taha’a, Rangiroa, Tike-hau, Huahine) aims at diversifying the package offer by extending it to the less-visited islands (as complements to the flagship islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora). It is also meant as an answer to the saturation in the overwater bungalow offer.

The Bed & Breakfast campaigns - This promotional plan is part of the work started in 2013 with the creation of the quality label “Ia Ora, at the heart of tradition” by the Associ-ation of Family Hotels of Tahiti and her Islands (presided by Mrs. Melinda Bodin) in close collaboration with the coun-try’s authorities, Tahiti Tourisme and the professionals of the destination’s sales network. The objectives of these cam-paigns, launched first in France, then in New Zealand and soon in North America, are to assist the growth of the “Ia Ora, at the heart of tradition” recent labeling of 105 guest-houses, to convey the values of hospitality, culture and au-thenticity of French Polynesia, and to promote guesthouse vacations (as they have available accommodation, notably during the high season).

2014 ANNUAL REPORT22

Operating income is 33.7 billion XPF, against 30.9 bil-lion XPF in 2013, i.e. a 9% increase in line with the in-crease in activity.

Operating expenses increase by 2.3 billion XPF, partly due to:• The impact of the New Chart of Accounts: 326 million

XPF;• The impact of social contributions adjustments: 555 mil-

lion XPF.

The financial result – 2.7 billion XPF – is mainly composed of:• The reversal of the depreciation provisions on the pur-

chase options of Rangiroa (OSEA) and Moorea (OSUN): 1.2 billion XPF;

• Foreign exchange gains of 534 million XPF and 657 mil-lion XPF on the purchase options of SEA and SUN and adjustment on bank loans.

The extraordinary result shows a 2.8 billion XPF loss, mostly due to:• a 343 million XPF gain on breakage (issued-but-unused

tickets more than a year old);• an aircraft depreciation provision of 3.2 billion XPF.

For 2015, Air Tahiti Nui has set a goal of 5% growth in activity, with the continuation of an aggressive commercial policy to raise the number of tourists coming to Tahiti and her islands.

Therefore, over 30 000 discount fare seats will be offered across our markets.

The search for partners so as to grow the company’s commercial network will continue, targeting in particular the high-potential markets in China and Brazil.

The financial result will largely depend on the price of jet fuel, but should nevertheless be positive.

2015 also marks the launch of the fleet renewal project, following the Board of Directors decision in early 2015 to acquire new generation Boeing B787-9 ‘Dreamliner’ air-craft.The company has placed purchase orders with Boe-ing for two 787-9 Dreamliner’s. A further two will be leased from Air Lease Corporation.

Air Tahiti Nui’s new fleet will be delivered in 2018-2019.

THE LAUNCH OF OUR FLEET’S RENEWAL WILL BE THE MAJOR TURNING POINT OF AIR TAHITI NUI IN 2015.
